Airstream claim their bird is the original mould. 
https://store.airstream.com/product_...roducts_id=699
They are back!
Set includes one standing and one feeding bird made from sturdy salmon-pink plastic. Standing flamingo measures 35 inches tall overall, and about 30 inches tall when legs are staked in the ground. Feeding flamingo measures about 17 inches from tail to beak and both are about 4 inches wide. Each flamingo has metal legs, realistic black and yellow plastic eyes, painted beaks and lots of feather texture molded in. These are the original 'Yard Art' flamingos (phoenicopteris ruber plasticus) designed by Don Featherstone with his signature molded underneath. The ultimate kitsch accessory for your front yard or garden! Made in the USA using the original Union Products molds.

For those of you into pink flamingos, saw this am at MENARD's a set of little bitty ones to go with the Lemax Christmas Village collections.
If anyone is interested.

On another note if you are ever in Wichita, KS with an hour or two to kill check out the Coleman museum and outlet. Very interesting origins for this company.

Installed as a permanent outdoor light just like at many camp sites. This is at my river cabin parking area.
